Okay, let's see here... An increase in the strike price, a decrease in the volatility, a decrease in the market value? Sounds like a recipe for the world's saddest call option. I'm going with B - an increase in the time to expiry. That way, at least the option has a chance to eventually make me a millionaire. Or bankrupt me, whatever.

Oof, options questions always make my head spin. But I've got this one figured out. The answer has to be B - an increase in the time to expiry. It's like a fine wine, the longer it has to age, the better it gets. Or something like that, I don't know, I'm just winging it here.

Oh, this is a tricky one! I was tempted to say C, but then I remembered that higher volatility means more potential for the share price to increase, which would increase the value of the call option. Yeah, B is the way to go, no doubt about it.

Hmm, let me think about this... An increase in the strike price would actually decrease the value of a call option, so that's not it. And a decrease in the market value of the share? That's just crazy talk. I'm going with B - gotta be the time to expiry.

Aha, this is a classic options question! I'm pretty sure the answer is B - an increase in the time to expiry. The longer the option has until it expires, the more time it has to increase in value. Easy peasy!

But wouldn't an increase in the time to expiry also increase the value of the call option?

I agree with Quinn. A higher strike price means the option is more likely to be in-the-money.
